The Shiba Inu ecosystem has witnessed a dramatic spike in its token burn activity over the past 24 hours. Data from Shibburn indicates that 3.32 million SHIB tokens have been permanently removed from circulation during this timeframe, sending the burn rate soaring by 434.63 percent. This process involves sending tokens to wallets where they cannot be retrieved, effectively reducing the total supply.
Daily burn metrics set the tone
While the daily increase in burn rate grabbed headlines, the weekly data paints a more subdued picture. On June 24, the community saw the week’s highest single-day burn with 5.5 million SHIB sent to the dead wallet. Over the last seven days, a total of 26.52 million SHIB has been burned. Despite this, the weekly burn rate actually declined by 36.39 percent compared to the previous week.

Limited recovery seen in SHIB price
On the price front, the period of accelerated burning coincided with a modest daily rebound for SHIB. According to CoinMarketCap, Shiba Inu gained 2.08 percent in the last 24 hours, reaching $0.000004266. However, the meme token remains down by 8.8 percent on the weekly chart.
Shibburn’s data highlights that 3.32 million SHIB were burned in the past 24 hours, driving the daily burn rate up by 434.63 percent.
Shiba Inu’s price action has followed a gradual downward trend since mid June, registering only one positive daily close in the past twelve days. The latest declines have clearly weakened momentum on key technical indicators.
Macro factors and technical signals in focus
The recent wave of market pressure stemmed partly from fresh US inflation data. Investors were digesting the May figures for the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, a key gauge watched by the Federal Reserve. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, reached 3.4 percent year-on-year in May, marking its highest level since October 2023. The monthly rise was 0.3 percent compared to April.
On the technical side, the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) for SHIB has dipped below the key 30 threshold, now resting at 26. The RSI is a widely used indicator measuring the speed and magnitude of price moves. A reading under 30 typically signals oversold conditions, though this alone does not confirm an impending reversal.
The fall in SHIB’s RSI to 26 indicates deepening oversold conditions, suggesting a potential for a corrective bounce, though confirmation remains elusive.
Such technical readings occasionally pave the way for short term recoveries, but a sustained shift in trend would require price movement to corroborate these signals. Accordingly, market watchers remain alert to both burn metrics and the influence of macroeconomic developments on risk appetite.
